In my opinion, the Steelers-Titans call by Blum was a bad call because contact was slight and did not present a safety issue for the kicker (again, my opinion).

In the likely event you missed the earlier post,
NFL Rules - Page 80
Rule 12, Section 2, Article 6, Supplemental Note (2)
Any contact with the kicker by a single defensive player who has not touched the kick is RUNNING INTO THE KICKER.
It's a "Rulebook Call" Derock, which is why you will never understand or be able to grasp the concept!
Nuff said!

OK KWH, I grasp the concept. But now what I don't understand is why this same concept doesn't apply to the Eagles-Bucs game when the defender ran into the kicker. Will you please explain that one?

Because both officials were using good game sense and good judgment
